:00:16. > :00:19.Evening, everyone! Leah and Ricky here, with Monday's dose of
:00:19. > :00:23.Newsround. Stay tuned, because we have got a packed programme on the
:00:23. > :00:27.way. Here is a taster: we have good news for people who don't like
:00:27. > :00:32.animal testing. And the real MI High! We take a
:00:32. > :00:36.look at a spy school for kids. But first, Britain's top policeman
:00:36. > :00:40.and one of his most senior officers have quit over the phone hacking
:00:40. > :00:43.scandal. Sir Paul Stephenson was the head of the Metropolitan Police,
:00:43. > :00:48.who look after London and are responsible for big events like the
:00:48. > :00:51.Olympics. John Yates was in charge of fighting terrorism. But now they
:00:51. > :00:54.have both gone after being criticised for being too close to
:00:54. > :01:00.journalists at the News Of The World, the very paper they were
:01:00. > :01:03.meant to be investigating. The Metropolitan Police is
:01:03. > :01:08.Britain's biggest police force, and they take charge of most big
:01:08. > :01:11.investigations like the one into phone hacking. Journalists from the
:01:11. > :01:14.News Of The World are accused of getting into the voicemails of
:01:14. > :01:19.celebs, politicians and even victims of crime - all to try to
:01:19. > :01:23.get juicy stories. When it all came out, the newspaper was shut down
:01:23. > :01:26.and the people in charge could be in big trouble if it is proved that
:01:26. > :01:29.they knew about it, although they say they didn't. But now police
:01:29. > :01:32.officers themselves have come under the spotlight, with claims that
:01:32. > :01:37.some of them have been much too friendly with the journalists they
:01:37. > :01:40.are meant to be investigating. Top officers have had dinners with
:01:40. > :01:43.bosses from the News Of The World, and employed one of them after he
:01:43. > :01:47.left the paper. There are even claims that the newspapers have
:01:47. > :01:49.been paying police officers for information, which is illegal. Now
:01:49. > :01:51.people are worried that these friendships stopped the
:01:51. > :01:53.Metropolitan Police from taking their investigations into phone
:01:53. > :01:59.hacking seriously enough, meaning it could go on uninterrupted for
:01:59. > :02:03.years and years. All of this meant that last night, the commissioner
:02:03. > :02:11.Sir Paul Stephenson felt he had to go, even though he says he has done
:02:11. > :02:14.nothing wrong, and today Assistant Commissioner John Yates followed.
:02:14. > :02:18.The Metropolitan Police could not have lost these top officers at a
:02:18. > :02:21.worse time. They are under a lot of pressure to make sure London is as
:02:21. > :02:27.safe as possible for the Olympic Games next summer. And the trouble
:02:27. > :02:30.will not stop with the police. Even the Prime Minister, David Cameron,
:02:30. > :02:33.has been accused of getting too pally with journalists, employing a
:02:33. > :02:38.past editor of the News Of The World as his right hand man. This
:02:38. > :02:43.scandal shows no sign of dying away. This story is going to run and run,
:02:43. > :02:46.but keeping up can be confusing. If you want to get the low-down on
:02:46. > :02:48.everyone involved, check out our guide on the website. Someone who
:02:48. > :02:58.never gets confused is the BBC's chief political correspondent,
:02:58. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:03.Laura Kuenssberg. I asked her why this story is such a huge deal.
:03:03. > :03:07.goes right to the heart of what happens in this square mile, what
:03:07. > :03:12.happens in the corridors of power and how politicians and journalists
:03:12. > :03:15.who report on what is happening relates to the police. So we have a
:03:15. > :03:19.triangle of powerful people, and this scandal seems to be sucking
:03:19. > :03:23.all of them in. The story keeps getting bigger and bigger, to the
:03:23. > :03:27.point where even our Prime Minister seems to be drawn into it. What
:03:27. > :03:32.will happen to him? No one is saying that David Cameron knew
:03:32. > :03:36.about what was going on, but he cannot easily escape this gamble,
:03:36. > :03:40.because he was friends with and work with someone for a long time
:03:40. > :03:44.who was in the middle of it. This story is moving so fast that nobody
:03:44. > :03:48.could be confident of saying where it will go next.
:03:48. > :03:51.Now to a subject you guys really care about - animal testing. Loads
:03:51. > :03:54.of you contacted us last week when we reported that more animals are
:03:54. > :03:57.being used in experiments in the UK. Well, there has been a development.
:03:57. > :04:00.The Government says it wants to ban all testing on animals for
:04:00. > :04:03.household products like bleach. It's already against the law to
:04:03. > :04:06.test make-up on animals, but it will still be OK to use them, like
:04:06. > :04:10.here, to help find cures for diseases.
:04:10. > :04:14.If you have ever had a leaking pipe in your home, you will know that it
:04:14. > :04:18.is not much fun. So spare a thought for the people living in Liverpool
:04:18. > :04:25.who woke up to a huge 12 metre high plume of water gushing out of their
:04:25. > :04:28.street this morning. Around 100 homes have been evacuated.
:04:28. > :04:32.Now, for lots of you, the countdown is on to the summer holidays! But I
:04:32. > :04:35.would not dig out your shades just yet. We have had a weekend of
:04:35. > :04:38.really wet weather - this is Perth in Scotland - and forecasters
:04:38. > :04:43.reckon we could be needing our brollies and wellies quite often
:04:43. > :04:51.over the next few weeks. So what's going on? I went to ask Nina Ridge
:04:51. > :04:56.from the BBC weather team. It has been pretty awful. We have had rain
:04:56. > :05:00.and showers and not a great deal of sunshine. It is all due to an area
:05:00. > :05:04.of low pressure we have in the North Sea. That is bringing in the
:05:04. > :05:06.cloud that has been swirling around. We will continue to see those
:05:06. > :05:10.weatherfronts and the unsettled conditions.
:05:10. > :05:14.If you have ever dreamt of being like Rose or Blane from MI High - I
:05:14. > :05:17.know I have! - you don't want to miss this next story. Kids are
:05:17. > :05:20.being given the chance to experience the life of a top secret
:05:20. > :05:30.agent at a centre built for budding spies in Milton Keynes. We put
:05:30. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:36.Agent Joe on the case. These days, you do not have to be a
:05:36. > :05:43.grown-up to be a spy. CBBC's MI High puts kids in the world saving
:05:43. > :05:47.shoes of teenagers. And next month, spy kids four hits the cinemas in
:05:47. > :05:51.four D, allowing kids to actually smell the adventure. But the
:05:51. > :05:56.creator of this centre thinks this is the closest children could get
:05:56. > :06:03.to the world of espionage. Spy missions in Milton Keynes now has
:06:03. > :06:07.gigs new James Bonds as young as six. My mission is to destroy a
:06:07. > :06:12.nuclear warhead. I am walking across this wardrobe because there
:06:12. > :06:17.are lasers on the floor. The guided stories test children mentally and
:06:17. > :06:22.physically. We have a runaway ship heading for the enemy. We need to
:06:22. > :06:28.steer it back, but there is no steering wheel. The centre has been
:06:28. > :06:33.built from a big kid's small idea. It started with my children. I used
:06:33. > :06:37.to do mini missions around the floor at my house. How do you get
:06:37. > :06:41.across the kitchen without crossing the floor. I was talking to one of
:06:41. > :06:45.my customers about it, and they said, you must do this for other
:06:45. > :06:49.people. Half a million pounds later, you have this massive place with
:06:49. > :06:54.12,000 square feet full of excitement. Some of the puzzles are
:06:54. > :06:58.more complex than others. And Bob has designed a number of short cuts.
:06:58. > :07:01.But I cannot tell you where they are, because they are top-secret.
:07:01. > :07:05.Now, Ricky, do you know what your cat has been up to today? Well, I
:07:05. > :07:07.am never sure, but Bella is usually asleep in the greenhouse or running
:07:07. > :07:10.riot through Hertfordshire. Well, maybe you should talk to the
:07:10. > :07:14.scientists who have been fitting cats with spy cams to find out what
:07:14. > :07:17.they get up to when we are not around. When they are not napping
:07:17. > :07:20.for 12 hours a day, country cats love hunting, while city cats
:07:20. > :07:23.prefer staying closer to home. There is good news as well - cats
